Our specialties include eating disorders, diabetes, kidney disease and overall wellness.
How can a registered dietitian help me with my health and wellness goals?
A registered dietitian is a valuable partner for navigating the complexities of nutrition to enhance your overall physical and mental wellbeing. Through personalized goal setting, nutrition education, cooking and meal prep tips, behavior change guidance and ongoing support and accountability, the dietitians at Life Cycle Nutrition will help you reach your personal health goals. If you have specific health conditions, registered dietitians offer specialized guidance for chronic disease management.
What can I expect during a nutrition consultation?
During an initial consultation your dietitian will complete a thorough nutrition assessment, including obtaining information about your health history, dietary patterns, lifestyle and any specific goals or concerns you have.
Based on the nutrition assessment, your dietitian will collaborate with you to develop a personalized nutrition plan that aligns with your goals and preferences. Your dietitian will help you set realistic and achievable goals, assist you with overcoming any obstacles and provide you with the necessary education and resources to help you succeed.
Our Specialty Areas
What is intuitive eating, and how can it improve my relationship with food?
Intuitive eating is a weight-inclusive, evidence-based framework that promotes a healthy relationship with food. Developed by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, the intuitive eating principles are designed to help you heal from the negative effects of chronic dieting and restrictive eating patterns. Exploring topics such as recognizing and honoring your body’s appetite cues, unlearning food rules, navigating emotional eating, respecting your body and gentle nutrition will foster a relationship with food that supports your physical and mental wellbeing.
How can nutrition counseling help manage eating disorders?
Nutrition counseling is a vital component of eating disorder recovery. Working with a dietitian for eating disorder treatment will aid in normalizing eating patterns, achieving a stable body weight and improving one’s relationship with food, which are crucial steps towards long-term recovery. Nutrition support for eating disorders involves education on nutrition needs, meal planning guidance, and individualized advice and goal setting tailored towards one’s specific condition and recovery goals.
What are the best dietary strategies for managing chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease?
Nutrition is not one-size-fits-all, therefore, it’s best to collaborate with a registered dietitian who can tailor your nutrition plan with consideration of your individual needs and preferences. Working with a dietitian who has expertise in kidney disease or diabetes nutrition is the best way to determine the most effective dietary strategies for each person individually.
How can nutrition support heart health and prevent cardiovascular diseases?
A heart-healthy diet can help with blood pressure control and cholesterol management. Long-term, a heart-healthy diet can help with cardiovascular disease prevention. The dietitians at Life Cycle Nutrition in Omaha can help you make realistic, sustainable changes to promote a heart-healthy eating pattern.
What specialized nutritional care is available for children and adolescents?
At Life Cycle Nutrition, we provide specialized nutritional care for children and adolescents to support their growth and development. Our pediatric nutrition services are designed to address the unique dietary needs of children and teens, helping them establish healthy eating habits early on. Our pediatric dietitian works closely with families to create personalized nutrition plans that support balanced growth, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Whether your child is dealing with food allergies, picky eating, or specific health concerns, our expertise in child and adolescent nutrition ensures that they receive the guidance they need to thrive during these critical developmental years.
What nutrition approaches can help with digestive health and gastrointestinal disorders?
Nutrition strategies for digestive health and gastrointestinal disorders are highly individualized based on each person’s condition and situation. A low-FODMAP diet is one approach that can be utilized for people focusing on IBS nutrition. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional and registered dietitian before implementing dietary strategies for gut health or food intolerances, especially for those with specific gastrointestinal conditions.
Insurance and Appointments
How do I get started with nutrition counseling?
You can get started by scheduling a consultation online with one of our dietitians through our website or by contacting our office at 402-509-3500.
We offer both in-person and virtual appointments to make counseling as convenient as possible.
After your initial session, we’ll schedule follow-up visits to track your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
Does insurance cover nutrition services?
Most insurance have coverage for nutrition services and oftentimes it is covered at 100% depending on the diagnosis.
Insurance coverage might also depend on whether the provider is in or out-of-network. Most registered dietitian nutritionists are not independently contracted with insurance to be considered in-network (even those practicing at medical offices or hospital systems that are in-network).
Not only does Life Cycle Nutrition accept most health insurances, the providers are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Aetna, Cidgna, Midland’s Choice, Bright Health, Health Partners, UMR, UnitedHealthcare, Medicaid, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Nebraska Total Care, Molina, Tricare and Medicare.
